When it was added to the end, you probably had an issue with an extra or missing &lt;?php or ?&gt; tag. When you inserted it in the beginning, you got it properly in a PHP block. Glad that is working for you now. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-can-i-limit-the-number-of-selections-made-in-a-checkbox-field#post-160951 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 09:54:59 +0000 black_lady 160951@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Solution from <a href="http://gravitywiz.com/2012/06/11/limiting-how-many-checkboxes-can-be-checked/" rel="nofollow">http://gravitywiz.com/2012/06/11/limiting-how-many-checkboxes-can-be-checked/</a><br /> is works!<br /> I put this code into functions.php (at the end) and I recived error.<br /> But when I put this code on the begining - everythig fine!<br /> Thanks David :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-can-i-limit-the-number-of-selections-made-in-a-checkbox-field#post-160038 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:46:19 +0000 black_lady 160038@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, this solution doesn't work for me. I put this code in functions.php and changed input ID, and nothing. Any idea?<br /> code i put:<br /> &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;<br /> jQuery.noConflict();<br /> jQuery(document).ready(function($) { </p> <p> $.fn.limit = function(n) {<br /> var self = this;<br /> this.click(function(){ return (self.filter(":checked").length&lt;=n); });<br /> }<br /> $("ul#input_22_70 li input:checkbox").limit(2); </p> <p> });<br /> &lt;/script&gt; </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-can-i-limit-the-number-of-selections-made-in-a-checkbox-field#post-54601 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:24:14 +0000 Rob Harrell 54601@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This should help you out:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/limiting-the-amount-of-checkboxes-that-can-be-checked" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/limiting-the-amount-of-checkboxes-that-can-be-checked</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-can-i-limit-the-number-of-selections-made-in-a-checkbox-field#post-54573 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 21:50:27 +0000 FionaFell 54573@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a need to limit the number of checkboxes that are chosen in a form. </p> <p>EXAMPLE:<br /> (A) Choose 1 category<br /> (B) Choose up to 3 categories</p> <p>If the user chooses (A), so they can only pick one category, from a drop down box. </p> <p>What I need to do, is limit the number of selections if they choose (B) as I'm displaying a checkbox list of categories. If I have 72 categories, I want them to only be able to choose a max of 3 (three), not all 72.</p> <p>Is this possible? What is the easiest way to implement this? </p>
